Giuseppe Verdi’s Italian House is Up for Sale

Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

Villa Verdi, near Busseto in the Emilia-Romagna region in 1848, was the composer’s home from 1851 until his death in 1901. Currently owned by four siblings, the descendants of Maria Filomena Verdi (who was raised as Verdi’s daughter), it will likely be auctioned off after disputes about what to do with it. (Guardian)
